Hiori Yo yelled at Yoichi Isagi, "Defend, defend!"
"His goal isn't to shoot!"
"It's to crush us!"
Nanase Nijiro hadn't understood what he meant, but the moment his gaze fell on Shidou Ryusei, he understood. Ye Liangqiu had already passed directly through Shidou Ryusei's defense.
He was charging straight towards him.
His expression was extremely tense, and he didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from his cheeks.
A roar echoed in his ears.
Suddenly, Ye Liangqiu's voice rang out, and Nanase Nijiro finally reacted, only hearing a whistling sound by his ear, "Your reaction is too slow."
"Don't be like a turtle, alright?"
"Are you this pathetic when facing Shindo Loki as well?"
By the time Nanase Nijiro recovered, Ye Liangqiu's speed had already accelerated, like a red laser streaking towards the next person, leaving a scorched mark on the ground.
Because of Hiori Yo's early warning, Yoichi Isagi had also moved closer.
The two exchanged glances. No matter what, it was their combined defense, especially since Hiori Yo had already confronted Ye Liangqiu once during the previous ball. He was now very certain that Ye Liangqiu's aura had changed.
This feeling was different from when they were teammates before...
His movements and techniques were more refined than before.
And his imitation of Shindo Loki's acceleration method had undergone a qualitative change.
Hiori Yo didn't dare to be careless, watching Ye Liangqiu charge like a laser. Countless interception methods flashed through his mind, but all of them seemed to crumble under such speed.
Yoichi Isagi swallowed hard, completely unable to imagine that just a few months ago, they were all on the same team. Now, the aura around him was exactly the same as the professional players he had faced then.
The two set up a classic defensive formation.
One on the left, one on the right, blocking Ye Liangqiu's attacking routes.
Even if you're fast, you'll have to go around, unless you break through, but with two people defending, as long as they hold out for a while, once all the teammates arrive, he'll be a trapped beast.
Ye Liangqiu looked at the stance they had taken, a smirk playing on his lips.
"In the realm of shooting, I've said it, no one can defend me!"
The next second, the ball was directly lifted high into the air by Ye Liangqiu's toe, and he also leaped up, his jump height extremely exaggerated, but his posture was full of deterrence.
Yoichi Isagi and Hiori Yo's eyes widened slightly, not yet reacting.
In the air, Ye Liangqiu's left leg muscles bulged, a dragon's tail whip.
With a "bang" sound.
The ball shot towards the goal like a bullet.
Until the moment the ball entered the goal, their postures only involved a slight movement of their heads, their bodies instinctively turning. The moment they saw the ball again, the shot had already been successful.
The score reached 0:2.
Yoichi Isagi was completely stunned in place. It was the first time he felt utterly useless on the field, or rather... this intense sense of defeat was rushing over him like a tide.
During the previous selection, he had thought his strength was enough to survive in Blue Lock, but now, looking at it, he was probably just a newly hatched chick in the eyes of these monsters.
At this moment, Hiori Yo wiped his sweat and said, "We need to change our strategy. If we want to stay, then... we must score a goal... no, it should be to cooperate with these two to score a goal."
"Anyone will do."
"Assert your value, otherwise the game will be Game Over."
Yoichi Isagi gradually came to his senses. Yes... the game wasn't over yet, it was just two goals, they weren't eliminated. There must be some way to win this match.
He had actually already discovered that his team was very uncoordinated.
Because of the relationship between Itoshi Rin and Shidou Ryusei, this match was exceptionally difficult to play.
It was the same for the opposing team. Whether it was Otoya Eita, or Otoya Eita, or Ye Liangqiu, they also asserted their own value, but... they were the Top 7. Ego had said before that the premise for them to stay was to have a chemical reaction with these Top 7 and become teammates who could cooperate.
This is what makes a player useful to the team.
This is the purpose of adaptive training.
The Top 7 do not need to cooperate with others; they only see one path: scoring goals. But the main task of these adaptive players is not to compete with the Top 7 for scoring rights, but to assist them, or rather, to create a chemical reaction with them!
Understanding all this, Yoichi Isagi's mind gradually cleared...
Yes... he might not be able to defeat these monsters, so he shouldn't think about devouring, but rather integrating first, and let his teammates become pieces of his puzzle!
Just then, a broadcast voice sounded.
Shidou Ryusei received a yellow card.
Itoshi Rin received a yellow card.
Any next offense will result in immediate expulsion.
Everyone looked towards the two of them, only to see a fist mark on each of their cheeks.
(╬◣д◢) Shidou Ryusei's face was grim, and he cursed, "I said that goal was mine!"
"Why didn't you pass?!"
"You ended up giving that goal to that Hong Yan Guai Tai, do you want to lose that badly?!"
"Damn bastard!"
"Shut up." Itoshi Rin's pupils radiated killing intent, and the veins on his cheeks bulged, "Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't score, pink-haired pervert. Don't think that just because we're teammates, you can brazenly take possession of the ball from me."
"That's impossible."
Their quarrel naturally attracted the attention of the other players.
Of course, Otoya Eita walked over to Ye Liangqiu and complimented him on the brilliant goal just now, but still asked, "You two were teammates before, aren't you going to stop them?"
"If this continues, I'm afraid this match won't be able to proceed."
"Stop them?" Ye Liangqiu revealed a malicious smile, "Why should I stop them?"
"These two useless guys only know how to argue every day, and they don't even score goals."
"The more they argue, the better."
Otoya Eita's mouth twitched...
Just then, the referee's whistle blew, signaling the start of the match.
The two finally stopped.
So far, Itoshi Rin's side was at a complete disadvantage, and the two Top 7 members had completely fallen out.
Yoichi Isagi's body felt as if it were shattering, countless puzzle pieces flying.
"Since Itoshi Rin, ranked second, and Shidou Ryusei, ranked third, are at odds with each other."
"My useful weapon... is to link these two beasts. Only then can I deal with the opponent. We are already two goals behind, and our advantage has completely vanished."
"We can't let them score anymore, otherwise we might be whitewashed."
Yoichi Isagi's eyes became fierce, and the fragments on his body were gradually condensing. He had already thought of a way to unite the team.
"We must burn our bridges and restrict Ye Liangqiu."
"Then let's start asserting our value!"
